Opening statements and first witness testimony began in Los Angeles County Superior Court, with attorneys disputing whether Grossman and Erickson were racing and the exact speed at the time of the 2020 crash.
Family attorneys argue Grossman was driving over 80 mph and impaired, while defense lawyers cite poor lighting, road conditions, and challenge speed data. Erickson is expected to testify, maintaining he did not hit the boys.
Grossman was previously convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 15 years to life, a conviction upheld on appeal. The civil trial is expected to last six to eight weeks, seeking damages for the Iskander family.
